And I’m assuming the president will pay for those transportation costs himself?

Well, if you consider “pay himself” by whipping out the country’s credit card. And don’t forget about all the hotel costs and food.

He simply makes me very angry as to what he’s doing to this country, david, and too many people voted for him and do not care.

That’s it. They don’t care. They’ve lost all connection to reality. Their votes have not cost them anything except “feelings”. They’ve been fairly isolated from the repercussions because of all the massive federal welfare spending and the incredible socialist support structure that has been built up over the years since the last Socialism Failure (Great depression). They have spent gazillions of dollars to assure that spending that money again will inoculate the people from harm. They are making their prognostications about what Socialism means come true.

And the eradication of true education in this land means people are too lazy to think and reason for themselves. Why should they when their lives are perfect. heck, they get money back from pappa Obama. they get tons of free stuff. Life is great. And, no one would dare take that FREE stuff away. Why, it’s free after all, right?

If they were to take it away, it means they would want the poor to die.

NRA arguments will be an epic failure, because they are using all of the wrong comparisons.

If they want to use a comparison that will register and make sense to everybody, they should point out the fact that someone is killed, not just injured, but killed by a drunk driver somewhere in this country every 51 minutes. That’s 28 deaths by drunk drivers every single day, 365 days a year every year vs. the anomaly of the one time occurrence of those 26 people killed by a crazed gunman in Connecticut …., and is anybody confiscating booze or restricting the use of booze? No. Because politicians and bleeding hearts and other liberal loonies consume huge quantities of booze, and whenever they hear about a drunk driver, they think, “But for the grace of God, there go I.” Those freaking hypocrites.

In fact, for every gun store, gun show or private individual which sells guns in any given state, most of which do so responsibly, there are probably at least a thousand pubs, taverns, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, airlines, convenience stores and liquor stores which sell booze to anybody of drinking age who wants to buy it, regardless of whether they are law abiding citizens, criminals, sane or insane, smart or dumb – even if they are already conspicuously drunk.

In fact, there is a multimillion dollar industry that promotes the sale and the consumption of booze, even to kids subliminally, also.

These new laws that they are passing are just feel good legislation which will accomplish absolutely nothing, except that they will inconvenience and piss-off gun owners who are law abiding citizens. What’s the sense in that?

GB said- I’m sorry, but what child does this? What child, upon hearing of a shooting at a far away school, thinks “I need to WRITE a letter to the President.” ??!?!?!?!?! REALLY!!?!??!
The ones who have a liberal teacher who ENCOURAGES them to write to the president, because God Forbid we allow our kids to think on their own, or develop any original opinions.
Then GB said- And the eradication of true education in this land means people are too lazy to think and reason for themselves. Why should they when their lives are perfect. heck, they get money back from pappa Obama. they get tons of free stuff. Life is great. And, no one would dare take that FREE stuff away.

AMEN.

There is a wickedness in theor madness. They hope to inspire an uprising, IMHO, to pinpoint those of us law abiding citizens who take our 2nd amendment rights as law, as nature and as protection from this very thing they are threatening us with. There is NO sense to it, only warm fuzzy liberal stupidity.

And finally Dave said-2.Every time I see Obama I have a desire to throwup and then take a shower.
With lye. And we’ve also taken to doing a shot for every LIE that comes out of his painfully arrogant mouth.

Take blood pressure meds before you read this:

Fox News reported this morning that, under Obama’s extremely irresponsible spending and redistribution of wealth agenda, Welfare is projected to increase by 80% (theoretically, 120% realistically) over the next 10 years, reversing Newt Gingrich’s 1996 Welfare Reform Act (for which,incidentally, the scumbags in the MSM gave Bill Clinto the credit, even though he vetoed it twice before he was dragged kicking and screaming to the table to sign a third bill).

That’s the bad news. The good news is that now Al Aharpton can go back to being a fat welfare queen again.

That’s 28 deaths by drunk drivers every single day, 365 days a year every year (That’s in excess of 10,000 drunk driving deaths per year) vs. the anomaly of the one time occurrence of those 26 people killed by a crazed gunman in Connecticut …., and is anybody confiscating booze or restricting the use of booze or even closely monitoring every drunk who drives? No. Because it was tried before and failed with Prohibition. Because too many people want to drink and drive. And because politicians, bleeding hearts and other liberal loonies consume huge quantities of booze themselves with indifference to its perils, and, in fact, whenever they hear about a drunk driver, they think, “But for the grace of God, there go I,” and that’s where their concern ends. Yet they would ban guns. Those killers and freaking hypocrites.

of all people to have made such a batty statement, MSNBC’s Larry O’Donnell said last night that Republicans are getting crazier and crazier ….

Similar to the twisted thinking of Goebbels, Hitler and Goering, who accused Admiral Canaris of being crazy, also, because he opposed those three lunatics, believing that they were as destructive to Germany as Larry O’Donnell and his ilk are to the USA..

Lies about Gun-control, Truth about the Racist Right!

It’s about time I threw my hat in this disuccion.

It is proven beyond doubt ANYONE who hates Barack Obama is a racist!

Can Barack Obama be impeached for the numerous impeachable offenses he’s committed? He has not committed any, so no

Is Barack Obama a fraud? No
Is Barack Obama a dictator? No, he was elected as president
Does Barack Obama hate America? No

Is Barack Obama a narcissist? No
Is Barack Obama an evil man? No
Is Barack Obama a traitor? No
Is Barack Obama an Anti-American? No
Does Barack Obama hate White people? No
Is Barack Obama a Marxist? No
Is Barack Obama a communist? No
Is Barack Obama a pathological liar? No
Is Barack Obama a Muslim? No

As expected the only people who have a problem with it are the party of bigots, extremists, and racists. It’s wrong when the black man does it:

In 2006, President Bush issued his first veto to block stem cell research legislation that had easily passed the Republican-controlled Senate and House. In front of several families and their “snowflake” children (so named because they “were born from “adopted” frozen embryos that had been left unused at fertility clinics), Bush explained why the other 400,000 embryos would have to stay on ice.

They’re not taking anything away, census pollers aren’t gonna start confiscating your damn guns. They’re making it harder for whackos to buy them and getting the completely unnecessary military grade weapons out of civilian reach. Quite frankly, if you vitriolic, conspiracy theorists are the ones so pissed off about all this….I’m *GLAD* President Obama is making changes. I want the right to own a gun, absolutely….but stockpile arsenals is idiotic…of the government is really out to get you, your guns won’t do a damn bit of good, and neither will your precious constitution.

The world applauds Obama for being the first President in god-knows-when to actually take practical measures in reducing America’s appalling gun violence problems, as well as showing some balls in standing up to the gun industry/lobby and it’s army of deluded devotees.

Obama has not exploited anyone is the recent gun control discussion. He has used the Sandy Creek event as an example.

A problem is congress and the fact that they can be bought by a lobby or association.

A common sense approach would be to bring everyone together and go through the pros and cons in a step by step fashion…Agreement achieved at each step.

Extremist views and outliers like some of the leads in the NRA have derailed this type of approach with a disregard for other views.

comparing him Hitler, Mao, or Stalin is a bit much and is hyperbolic. Frankly it’s just ignorant.

Obama is not trying to destroy America!

A fraud? A usurper? He is the legitimately elected President. His birth has been proven beyond reasonable doubt, both through document and newspaper evidence, and as his mother was an American citizen that challenge is moot to begin with.

The question of his political beliefs is ridiculous. A Marxist or Communist would not have settled for a privately owned hospital system as Obama did. The comparisons to Stalin, Hitler and Mao make the comparators look ignorant and stupid. Where are his death camps? Who has he persecuted? What privately owned resources has he nationalized? Not one!

Muslims go to the mosque. Obama goes to church. He eats pork and shrimp. Muslims do not. This is another stupid claim made by stupid people who also claim that Reverend Wright has too much influence on him, without for a second thinking how one argument gives the lie to the other.

As for election fraud, not one shred of evidence has been offered to suggest this either. Quite the opposite in fact, with Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics.

you constantly roll out photos of dead children killed by drones that were ordered by Obama to kill, but since most of you guys support killing little brown Muslim babies, and soon little black Muslim babies and children in Africa that would be pointless.

Ad hominem comments and remarks by right-wing conservatives are staples in all of their media outlets, whether print, radio, television, or, especially, on the internet. It’s what they do.

When they finally realize that they are not winning a particular argument or issue; when they see finally that people just simply do not accept or believe their continual myth-making, and are prepared to ignore, if not punish them for their continued irrationality – they resort to personal attack.like calling our President, the Commander in chief rude, fabricated and juvenile names..

“He’s not my President” is what you’re gonna say. Yes..ALL racists and bigoted scum like them say that. They don’t considering Anyone who is not WHITE a leader!

That’s how the racist right works, and that’s how there are ALWAYS gonna work!

Now I ask you, how often do we get to read such articulate and persuasive arguments here?

I don’t understand it. He is usually so bubbly, vivacious and charismatic.

Maybe he was shy ’cause he’s new here.

All of that blather and drivel begs the question, what’s your point, ditzy?

I didn’t bother to read much. But all that I read there was your wishful thinking …, contrived, bogus bullshit …, distortions …, exaggerations …, and screwy rationales which reinforce your screwy delusions. No facts. No substance. Just desultory ranting and rambling bullshit.

What will it take for you to realize that President Barack Obama is a lazy empty suit, a sleazy street hustler and a pretentious, decadent dilletante, who presides over an administration of chronic screw-ups, all of whose policies, both overseas and domestically, have been disasters?

Why did you vote for him? Because you thought that it would be cool for us to have our first black President? It couldn’t be because you were stupid enough to believe that he had managerial, executive and leadership skills and any qualifications whatsover to be President Of The United States. NOBODY is that stupid.

BTW, ditzy, you are entitled to your opinions, providing that you’re lucid enough to realize that that is all
that they are; just your opinions. Not the facts, none of which you have posted here, you ditz.

Why did you vote for Obama? (a) Because you thought that it would be cool for us to have our first black President? Or (b) Because he promised that he would steal huge amounts of money from hard-working people who earned it, and give that money to lazy bums, deadbeats, freeloaders and parasites, um, like you? It certainly couldn’t have been for any altruistic reasons or because (c) you were stupid enough to believe that he had managerial, executive and leadership skills and/or that he had any qualifications whatsover to be President Of The United States. NOBODY is that stupid. Nobody!!!

Well, sucker, how much of that money have you received? Ha Ha Ha You voted for that slimy con artist with the most evil of ulterior motives, and you’re only that much more dependent on government with nothing to show for it, while Obama is living like royalty, empowered by poor, dumb peons like you. SUCKER!!!

You voted for that evil, creepy, despicable and insufferable con artist with the creepiest, most evil and most despicable of ulterior motives, and you have the chutzpah to disparage good, decent people here??? With assinine labels like racist? Why? To try to feel better about yourself? Pathetic.
